1 (8-ounce) package light cream cheese, softened
Directions:
1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions; drain. Stir together egg noodles and chopped green onions; set aside.
2. Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain and return to skillet. Stir in pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning.
3. Cut cheese loaf into 1/2-inch cubes; reserve and set aside 1 cup. Stir together remaining cheese cubes, sour cream, and cream cheese.
4. Spoon one-third of ground beef mixture into a 13- x 9-inch baking dish; top with half of noodle mixture and half of sour cream mixture. Repeat layers once.
